6. False statement six
Then he has narrated the tradition of immunity from Imam Ahmad1 from
Waki from Israel from Abu Ishaq from Zaid bin Yusha from Abu Bakr. Then he
says:2
This tradition is not acceptable, since it contains the order of Prophet for
Abu Bakr Siddiq to return, because the Siddiq did not return, on the contrary he
became the leader of Hajj…

Read and laugh at this baseless analogy as opposed to authentic and proven
text, on whose correctness, there is consensus, and in the coming pages, we will
present the tradition of immunity from numerous chains and authorities.3
False statement seven
He says: “Some Shia believe that humps of Khorasani camels grew up
during captivity of the ladies of the house of revelation in order to veil them.”
Then he refutes this statement.4
Reply to false statement seven
I don’t think there is any fool, who thinks that humps of camels, whether
Khorasani or Arabian, appeared after the tragedy of Kerbala.
Without any doubt, Shia never subscribe to this claim. On the contrary, one
who claims thus, has in fact made allegations about those ladies and his aim is to
insult them through this nonsense, because regarding the noble ladies of the family of prophethood, in spite of the fact that their clothes, accessories and their
veils were plundered, no Shia believes that they were unclothed throughout the
period of captivity and they were humiliated by this. This is definitely untrue,
because love of God for them prevented occurrence of such circumstances.
Yes, they had to face tribulations on the path of struggle in God’s way just
as their men faced. But such tribulations, which the warrior faces in the path of
God, for God and in the presence of God, not only are they not degradation, on
the contrary it is a sign of pride and source of respect.
So, those righteous ladies participated equally in this sacred mission along
with their men. A mission, which exposed the evil acts of those villains, who
wanted to take the religious society back to the age of Ignorance. This is the
meaning of this statement
“Indeed, the religion was Muhammadan, but its remnant is Husaini.”
And this fact is memorable, but Ibne Kathir and their like could not bear it
and they attack the Shia in every possible manner.
These are a few examples of the crimes of Ibne Kathir with relation to
knowledge and trusts of Islam and some distortions of facts and false and
baseless allegations towards Shia personalities.

“And whoever acts hostilely to the Apostle after that guidance
has become manifest to him, and follows other than the way of
the believers, We will turn him to that to which he has (himself)
turned and make him enter hell; and it is an evil resort.”5
